Zhen Lian of the Red Chamber

Seeing Lin Daiyu picking up the collection of poems again, she said with a smile, "Miss, go and have a rest. I think she is tired today."

Lin Daiyu put down the book and gave her a sideways glance, and said with a smile, "Isn't this what you like?"

Zijuan had no choice but to sit opposite Lin Daiyu, and said with a smile: "I think the girl just stays in the room all day, so don't get sick! I happened to meet Miss Zhen today, so I invited her to talk to the girl. The girl is also very good-looking, and the girl also hangs out with her a lot, so as not to be bored by being alone."

Lin Daiyu said: "I just said one thing, but it caused you to talk so much! I heard my cousin said that they are his friend's family members, and I wanted to meet them, but I didn't make any preparations today. It's okay to meet today." We get along." He said with a smile and said, "Originally, Baoyu always said that all the good girls in the world were born in their family, if he saw Sister Zhen, he would sigh again!" He couldn't help thinking Thinking of the relatives from far away, thinking that we will see each other soon, I couldn't help but feel happy, and when I remembered that I was alone now, I couldn't help but feel sad, and tears fell down.

Seeing her girl talking and crying again, Zijuan knew that she was thinking of her dead aunt again, so she could only comfort her carefully, "The girl is just getting better, but you have to take care of yourself, even the master hopes that the girl will be well, if you continue to do this, you will be fine." Teach the master how to feel at ease!"

Daiyu wiped away her tears, "I know that too, but I just can't help it." She shed tears again, and then slowly stopped.

Seeing Zijuan, she persuaded Daiyu to go to sleep for a while. Daiyu also felt a little sleepy, so she put down her book and went to sleep.

Here, Zhen Lian came out of the room, feeling quite happy, finally seeing Sister Lin!According to what I saw today, she is not difficult to get along with, but she is a little bland, but the basic way of hospitality does not lose everyone's style.That's right, I don't know her personally either, so I'd be surprised if she was very enthusiastic when she first came.

Walking briskly into the room, seeing Mother Zhen still doing needlework, she walked over quickly and sat down with a smile: "Mother, I just saw Miss Lin! He really is a very good person, full of books, but he is not healthy. Great, I feel better just now."

Mother Zhen raised her head, "How come Miss Lin has been bothering her for so long when she's sick! It's going to tire her out!"

"I didn't stay for a long time, and the words came out after a while. Before that, I stayed outside the boat for a while." Zhen Lian smiled, and said: "I just saw Brother Liu, so I told him After a while, it was only today that I discovered that the two boats are parallel, but we can’t see them here. As long as you speak louder, you can hear them on the other side, and they said that they will buy some food for us when the boat stops!”

"You must have told him, otherwise how would he know!" Mother Zhen smiled helplessly, but she was happy in her heart. The daughter and son-in-law are filial, which is better than anything else!

"As a son-in-law, he has to be filial to his elders! I even asked him to buy a few more books to pass the boring time." Zhen Lian closed the window and said with a smile: "Let's close the meeting first, today's meeting The wind is a bit strong, be careful if you get sick!"

Mother Zhen saw that the light in the room had dimmed, so she had to put down her needlework and put it away. Zhen Lian smiled and got up and went to rub her shoulders and back.She lowered her head to do needlework all the year round, and Zhen's mother's spine pain became more and more serious. After seeing the doctor, they only said that it was caused by years of lowering her head. It can only be improved by daily massage, but it cannot be cured.

Mother Zhen couldn't be idle, she always had to find something to pass the time every day, so Zhen Lian had to limit her sewing time and pattern, and only asked her to do some simple things, at most one hour a day, which would be better.

When we arrived in Yangzhou in the afternoon, several ships stopped on the shore to rest, and set off again tomorrow morning.All the people on board also disembarked to collect mending, so Liu Xianglian also told Jia Lian that she wanted to disembark. Jia Lian laughed and said, "Second brother, wait a minute, I'll go shopping together!"

So the two got off the boat together and came to the city. Liu Xianglian chose the family bookstore to go in. Jia Lian smiled and said, "Second brother, don't you want to buy books?" .

Liu Xianglian looked around, selected a few books, and turned to him: "Buy some to pass the time, and there is nothing to do on the boat." She moved to the place where the story books were placed, and looked around, all of them were Books by talented scholars and beauties are all fabricated and worthless.I have read these words before this hour, and I believed them to be true at first, but after reading a lot, I found that this kind of book is just a template, with nothing new at all, and I also know that these books are all made up by the writers, so it is not true. read.

Although there are good writings here, there are very few of them, and none of them are suitable for a young lady like her to read.There are also some strange people and strange things that cannot be shown to her, because they will frighten her.I had to carefully look at the book that was suitable for telling history, and chose another book of travel notes.Nothing else is optional, so I went to check out, only to hear Jia Lian's voice in my ear: "Why don't you choose so many good books, but choose those books that are boring to read." The book was thrown to Liu Xianglian.

Liu Xianglian quickly caught it, held it in her hand and looked at it. It turned out to be a copy of "□□". Give me the book you found, I can't buy it, you leave it to the boss!" After finishing speaking, he ignored Jia Lian and went to pay the bill.

Jia Lian followed with a smile and bought it herself.Going out, followed Liu Xianglian and said with a smile: "It's still early today, how about my brother take you somewhere?" He raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Liu Xianglian knew where he was going as soon as she heard it, she quickly shook her head and refused, "I have to go buy some things and hurry back!"

Jia Lian said: "What's there to worry about! Why don't you take advantage of this and relax, brother will find you a good one!"

Liu Xianglian couldn't help it, so she could only smile and said, "Brother is kind, but I won't go by myself, why don't you go by yourself!"

Jia Lian still didn't give up, "Why don't you go now? I have been there before, but now it's like this." Then he looked at Liu Xianglian and sneered, "Is it because you are afraid that your future mother-in-law and wife will find out and beat you! "

Liu Xianglian couldn't help laughing, she used to go there with her friends to have a few drinks and get together a few times, and she didn't even call the girl, let alone stay overnight.Now that I have a sweetheart, and I want to start a family and start a business, where will I go again?But if Zhen Lian found out, she wouldn't beat him, she would just take her mother back to her hometown and never see her again!So there is no theory, just walk forward quickly.

Jia Lian caught up and grabbed Liu Xianglian, "If you don't tell me, who knows that we are going? Now you are going to get married, and it will be even more difficult to have the opportunity in the future. Why not cherish these opportunities now."

Liu Xianglian had no choice but to stand still, and said with a smile: "You're right, now I'm going to start a family and start a business, but I can't go to those places anymore, the second brother can just go by himself, don't worry about the younger brother."

Jia Lian laughed and shook her head, sighing, "I didn't expect you to be a different person after only a few years of seeing each other. Forget it, forget it if you don't go!" Then she turned and left.

Liu Xianglian smiled and continued to walk forward. When she arrived at a large-scale restaurant, she ordered a few special signature dishes to take away, and then rushed back immediately.

When they arrived at the pier, they came to Zhen Lian's boat, stopped a little girl and said, "Please help me deliver these things to Mrs. Zhen on the second floor." He gave her a dozen more money.

The little girl accepted it with a smile, took it and walked upstairs.Seeing that she had reached the second floor, Liu Xianglian went back to her boat and walked to the deck.

The little girl went upstairs with the box in her hand, found the room where Zhen's family lived, knocked on the door with one hand, and said with a smile: "Madam, Mr. Liu downstairs asked me to bring something."

When Zhen Lian and her daughter heard it in the room, they knew it was from Liu Xianglian.Zhen Lian got up and went to the door to open it, and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl standing there holding a box, she quickly took it over, and said with a smile: "Thank you sister, please come in and have a cup of tea." Kiss her in.

The girl smiled and said, "I don't dare to thank you, I still have things to do!" Then she turned and left.

Zhen Lian took the box and closed the door and went back to the table to put it down. When she opened it, there was a stack of books on top. Zhen Lian took it out and put it away.After opening the lower floors, there are food inside, Zhen Lian smiled and said: "You know it's delicious when you smell it!"

Then she took it out and arranged it, and there were bowls, chopsticks and rice in it. Zhen Lian sighed in her heart that Liu Xianglian was so considerate, these meals were still hot, and everything was prepared, so she and her mother could just eat!

Sit down and spend some time with Zhen's mother. Seeing that she was eating deliciously, Zhen Lian was very happy. She added a bowl of rice to her and ate it all.Sure enough, the food in my hometown is good, so I have to cook by myself when I go to the capital.

After eating quickly, Zhen Lian went out to the deck, and she saw Liu Xianglian there. Zhen Lian trotted over and said "Hey!", seeing him turn her head, she smiled and said, "It's delicious! Have you eaten it yet. "

"Have eaten, have you read the book?"

"I haven't had time to watch it yet." After finishing speaking, he happily shared with him, "Mother ate two bowls of rice just now! I think she has stayed here all her life, and she is not used to the taste of the north. Now it has to be like this, In the future, we will do it ourselves when we go to Beijing, so it doesn’t matter.”

"From then on, I'll get off the boat and bring some." Liu Xianglian said again: "You don't have to do it yourself, you can still find authentic southern cooks in Beijing, just find one when the time comes."

Zhen Lian nodded, and the two of them talked again before Zhen Lian went back to the room.

The next morning it was time to set off, but the boat hadn't left yet. Zhen Lian was surprised that Jia's boats always left on a regular basis, and this situation had never happened in the past few days, so she talked to Zhen's mother and went outside.Seeing that everything is normal, I feel relieved and go back to my room to sit down.

After half a stick of incense, Zhen Lian heard the voice outside was louder than before, so she opened the window and looked out.I saw a group of chariots and horses approaching slowly in the distance, and after a while they arrived in front of Jia's boat. The chariot stopped, and a middle-aged man with a round waist and a thick back came down. Zhen Lian was thinking about who it was, so she went Listening to Zhen's mother surprised: "Jia Yucun?"

Zhen Lian was startled, Jia Yucun?How come here?
